About About the Boston WikiProject

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to the Hub of the Universe, Boston, and several of the cities surrounding Boston. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the Discussion Page, see the Task list below or just start editing articles and link them to the project using the {{WikiProject United States|Boston=yes}} banner.

Scope

This WikiProject aims to provide a centralized location for the discussion of standards for work on articles relating to the City of Boston and several surrounding cities in Wikipedia. This covers but is not limited to its history, culture, sports and other topics.

Goals

  • Cleanup pages that are related to Boston
  • Merge pages that should be merged
  • Watch Boston pages for vandalism
  • Create Pages for all Boston Neighborhoods
  • Expand Pages for Boston Neighborhoods
  • Expand and Create pages for Boston Personalities

Categories

Boston Neighborhoods

Looking for action items on the Neighborhoods and discussion as to if they should be separated into major neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods. For instance Kenmore Square, Fens and Fenway-Kenmore could all be considered part of the Fenway of which there is no section. Also should clean up Boston Neighborhoods adding a quick blurb about each section.
